Asajj Ventress’ Lightsabers Return in a New Ornate Limited Edition Box Set
With the fan-favorite character, Asajj Ventress, returning to animation, fans can collect her beloved lightsaber hilts in a limited edition box set. StarWars.com announced the product in a new post, showing off the dual, curved lightsabers, as well as the 2D Clone Wars-inspired package it comes in.
Fans can purchase the lightsaber hilts at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland and Walt Disney World resorts starting on March 8. It will then hit DisneyStore.com at the later date of March 11.
Speaking on the official Star Wars website, the senior manager of merchandising at Disney, Cody Hampton talked about what makes this set so special. He emphasized the beauty of recreating Dooku’s gift from the 2003 Clone Wars animated series and how the team brought that gift to life:
“I would say the most exciting part of the ‘Disciple of the Sith’ Limited Edition box set (aside from the detailed hilts themselves) is the wooden box and the way it functions. This set was more challenging to create than many of the previous sets. First, taking something only seen in animation to the real world and turning that into a product can be difficult. Next, we wanted this to look and function like we saw in the series, which included four pieces opening from the top to reveal the lightsaber hilts inside. Lastly, we wanted the presentation of the crossed hilts with the dark side red inlay to look like it did on screen.
Overall, we are excited about the execution as it truly is inspired by what fans see in the series. We also like to include an insert that features the individual number of the set, so fans know this is truly limited to the edition size. On each insert we also enjoy including a character quote from the film or series that continues the storytelling of the entire set. This set also includes that special adaptor, so fans can connect the two hilts for that double-bladed wielding action. The Legacy Lightsaber blades are sold separately.”
